A possible third way (proportional) to combat VAT fraud: the joint liability of operators

• The solidary responsibility could be a possible solution to combat VAT fraud.
• The C-442/22 judgment of the EU Court of Justice provides an opportunity for reflection.
• A generalized solidary responsibility could be implemented for taxpayers who have not complied with the duty of enhanced vigilance.
• An anomaly in the price of a good could be considered a warning sign of the legality of the operation.
• This warning sign could be used to evaluate if the taxpayer has fulfilled the obligation of vigilance.
• Fulfilling this obligation would allow the taxpayer to maintain their right to VAT exemption or deduction.
